Description
Two archaeological sites in the western Canadian Arctic offer glimpses into the autumn trek of the Inuvialuit away from the coast to procure caribou meat, hides and other materials. A detailed study of the caribou bones found at these sites offer a better understanding of this poorly known aspect of Inuvialuit life. In addition, current methods of zooarchaeological analysis are outlined.
